Benefietconcert NDO voor Xenia!
- Informatief

Reijseger, Cassadó, Vasks
In dit concert staan drie verstilde maar intens expressieve werken centraal. Ernst Reijsegers Colla Parte, klinkt in een bewerking voor cello en zang waarin beide stemmen elkaar volgen, spiegelen en soms tegenspreken. Daarna klinkt de solistische kracht van Gaspar Cassadó’s Solo Suite: een kleurrijk stuk vol Spaanse invloeden, virtuositeit en lyrische momenten. Tot slot voert The Book, II Pianissimo van de Letse componist Pēteris Vasks naar een bijna fluisterende wereld. In deze meditatieve muziek staan stilte, adem en klank centraal. Samen vormen de werken een intieme reis langs dialoog, expressie en verstilling.

Hadewych van Gent
With her voice and cello, Dutch cellist and singer Hadewych van Gent creates her own distinctive soundscape. As an adventurous and versatile musician, she explores the edges of the classical tradition and beyond. At 17, Hadewych made her solo debut at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Since then, she has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in leading venues, including the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Barbican Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London. She has also made a name for herself in her own country: in 2025, Hadewych was nominated for the Grachtenfestival Prize, and next season she will make her solo debut in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam’s Zaterdagmatinee. Outside of classical music, she has previously performed with the band Coldplay and Grammy-winner Laufey. She incorporates all these influences into the development of her own artistic voice, and is committed to broadening the repertoire for cello and voice, from which she plays a surprising selection in this concert.
